Description:

Android MotionEvents reports the pressure being applied to the screen by a finger, stylus or other pointer device.

There appears to be no way to get touch pressure in Jetpack Compose without resorting to pointerInteropFilter, which the documentation recommends we don't use and which in any case appears to break when inside a LazyItem scope. (pointerInteropFilter gets very janky, and drops around 90 per cent of events when in something like a LazyColumn.)

It would be nice if androidx.compose.ui.input.pointer or androidx.compose.ui.input.pointer.pointerevent (or indeed anywhere you liked!) contained pressure properties or methods.

Use Case:

Any Jetpack Compose drawing or handwriting app could make use of touch pressure. I imagine games could also benefit from it?
